Laws on Marijuana in Maryland??

I have read some pretty gnarly sentencings for any amount in maryland. Possession or use of any amount of marijuana is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Any one know?? I travel allot around but i dont like drug dogs and wack states... i love the barrels of OC though.

I'd stay in Vah Beach. Ocean City now has its full compliment of summer cops on duty, along with dope sniffing meter cops in bright Yellow shirts just waiting for probable cause to do a full scale search- if you know what I mean.

do you mean strip search? as if it is that let it be a hot chick and do something if you know what i mean.

I mean, up to a year in jail and up to a $1000 fine is standard for pretty much any misdemeanor, in any state. So that's no big deal really, you probably won't see a day in jail and have to pay a couple hundred, maybe even take some classes and do some community service, unless you're carrying around copious amounts of ganger, that is.

or just say sorry and when the cop goes back to his car to do whatever... run.
Nah if your honest and up front from pretty early you wont get in much trouble. Im not saying tell the cops you were smoking a joint if you get pulled over but if they know whats up dont try to hide it.

If you are that worried about it...don't smoke in your car. Road sharks only get aggressive if they detect some odor. Like their eyes get all big and ****. Believe me I just went through a whole ordeal.

best bet don't smoke any where in public around O.C, there are informants younger then most know, when traveling hide it in your deodorant, twist it out all the way and put your bag inside. If you do get popped you may get lucky and the cop just take your bag for himself and give you a ticket for parphenellia.

The first offense of over about 2 ounces, gives you a felony intent to distribute charge as well as a misdimeander possession. They will attempt to charge you with a 2 year jail sentence. If it your first offense, you will get the 2 years "suspended", during which time you will serve a supervised probation, including weekly drug screening and manditory counseling. As well as a grand total of about 3500$ in fees for all above services, which are collected incrimentally, each month by a probation officer. By the way, if you violate your probation, you have to go back to court for review, and if you have no proper excuse, you go directly to jail for a 2 years sentence. You serve about 6 months or some bull****. So dont violate that probation!

Now, thats the bad news.

The good news, which is little known, and rarely publicized. Basically, there are Medical Marijuana Laws that protect users in the state of maryland. It is not like here in california, where you litterally walk into a "Pot Doctor", pay $100 annually and you have legal protection to grow, smoke and purchase legal marijuana from legal stores.

In Maryland, when a "Medical Marijuana" user gets arrested for possesion of marijuana, the legal action still takes place and you are detained and charged. When you go to trial for the Marijuana Case, if you can present evidence to the court that the marijuana you were using somehow medicated you for a legitimate ailment, then the charges are dropped.

The only place in the state of maryland that you will only get a misdimeanor slap on the wrist, is the city limits of baltimore. City courts throw out anything under a street value of about $2500, which is almost 3 pounds of dirty maryland street shwag. So, you will only get a slap on the wrist, and court fees of about $75 bucks. The court systems are so full of violent crime offenders and coke/heroin cases that there is no money in the system to deal with non violent marijuana offenders. Its like ampsterdam in MD. Seriously. Its true. I used to live there.

So, although MD will butt rape you if you smoke, they are more forgiving and advanced that most of the states in the country. Its no cali, but pretend you got glycoma and you are straight.

or just say sorry and when the cop goes back to his car to do whatever... run.

I was in the car with my buddy. The cops told him that if he just told them the truth he would take it and let us go. He took it, arrested my friend and then made me walk home in the snow. I got lucky I suppose. But never trust a cop. Lie, Lie and Lie more, or just snatch his gun when hes on his radio!

best way to handle one of these situations is either lie until they got the cuffs on you or peace, the key to out running the cops is to never finish last, take up runnin in you spare time it helps a lot
